Because there is pretty much no way it can't suck, especially if we are talking about minor villains. This is a fantasy/fairy tale type movie, not a serious drama. If you make a movie about a minor villain, he has to be at somewhat sympathetic at least a first or the audience can't relate to him. Which pretty much means you've ruined the character and the movie sucks.

What would be the back story of Grand Moff Tarkin? In Star Wars he's a pretty high up military leader. Maybe 2nd or 3rd in the entire Imperial heirarchy. Leader of if not the entire military, the newest and most important forces. He has the authority to torture an ambassador to the Imperial Senate and commit genocide apparently (if not, Vader should have force choked his arse since he's dangerously overstepping his bounds). He threatens to commit genocide against said prisoner's home world of Alderaan unless she confesses to treason and gives up the location of the Rebel forces (and the ACLU think water boarding is bad), then commits genocide anyway, just to teach her a lesson and to keep other systems in line through fear. So what is his origin story that wouldn't suck?

That he really was a struggling artist on Naboo that turned to fascism because his mom abused him? How could that not suck?

Maybe we could see him as a young officer trainee (Wait, i thought they didn't have a military, that's why they need clones and to pass a military authorization act that Sen Amadala opposed?) Where did he get the training to lead a ship at the end of ROTS? Did Palaptine set up some secret galactic version of StarFleet or the Annapolis Academy? I digress. So maybe we could have Full Plasma Blaster or A Moff and a Gentleman. We see Gunnery Sgt Starkiller training him and his fellow officer candidates. "
